Efficient Ca2+-stimulated bilayer fusion, and glutamate release, occurred with approximately two molecules of mouse synaptobrevin 2 reconstituted into ∼6-nm nanodiscs. The transmembrane domains of SNARE proteins assumed distinct roles in lipid mixing versus content release and were exposed to polar ...
Cholesterol appeared to change from an association with the lipid at low temperatures to an association with the protein at high temperatures. Membrane cohesion correlated with a simple fracture energy model where the level of tension required to lyse vesicles is proportional to th...
Methods are described to isolate membranes from tumor cell lines, solubilize protein and lipid components, and reassemble solubilized components in the form of unilamellar vesicles. A general method to enhance the immunogenicity of tumor-membrane liposomes by incorporating purified immunostimulatory ...
The respiratory membrane (at the alveoli) is made of what type of cells? The membrane of a contractile cardiac muscle cell contains ___. Cell membranes consist mainly of a ___ a. carbohydrate bilayer and proteins. b. protein bilayer and phospholipids. c. phospholipids bilayer and ...
TJT Pinheiro,A Watts - 《Biochemistry》 被引量: 178发表: 1994年 Biomimetic tethered lipid membranes designed for membrane-protein interaction studies The complexity of the biological membranes restricts their direct investigation at the nanoscale. Lipid bilayer membranes have been developed as a model ...
of the pore, the K+ion loses its bound waters and, as it passes into the selectivity filter, is stabilized by electronegative carbonyl oxygen atoms of the protein backbone. These carbonyl oxygens act essentially as surrogate water molecules that surround the K+ion to provide a hydrophilic ...

Phase fluctuation on the micron-submicron scale in GUVs composed of a binary lipid mixture - Celli, Beretta, et al. - 2007 () Citation Context ...icated that the motion of the BADAN label attached to the labeled protein was restricted. As shown in Fig. 1, the excitation dipole is ...
Toxoplasma gondii affects the health of humans and livestock and causes severe illness in the fetus and immunocompromised individuals. Because of the high incidence and severe consequences of T. gondii infection, a safe and suitable vaccine is needed. We
The heart of our proposal is that the building blocks self-assembled into an aggregate with RNA and protein components bound to a fatty acid membrane, and that this aggregate stabilized the membrane and facilitated the formation of the two polymers. In more detail, we hypothesize: Life 2016, ...
